"The Bull Rush Quartet"

An Exhibition of photography by Robert Sprachman.

These richly detailed photographs are inspired by Sprachman's deep respect for nature.

From his artist statement:

"My particular interest lies not with the grand landscape but more with the everyday details
that are often overlooked." Framed in textured metal by the artist who comes from a sculptural
background, these unusually shaped works of art draw the viewer into the symphony
of the textures of the natural world.

"Wisdom from A-Z"
An Exhibition of a new paintings by Rob Croxford.

"Wisdom from A-Z" is an exhibition of new work by Rob Croxford.
This exhibition is an exercise in whimsy. Each of brightly coloured – vintage
themed canvases represents a letter of the alphabet. For example, the “B”
canvas depicts a Bowling Ball and a quote from George Ball. The “C” canvas
depicts a Croc Shoe and a quote from CoCo Chanel!

"Urban Nocturnes"
An Exhibition of oil paintings by emerging Toronto artist Stephen Noble.

"Urban Nocturnes" is an exhibition of new oil paintings by Toronto artist
Stephen Noble. They focus on urban nightscapes -- a new subject for
Noble, whose past work mainly featured rural landscapes. Unlike the calm
and solitude of this earlier work, we now feel the spirit and bustle of the city.
Noble captures this by painting “plein air” studies, which become
the source for the finished piece.

*** THE BAKERY OF BLOK ***

Single channel video/audio. Wood, glue, acrylic paint. Digital colour print on photographic paper.

An Exhibition of works by Zin Taylor.

Monsieur Zin Taylor lives in Brussels where he developed the works for this exhibition using common forms and found materials to construct an imagined narrative. Monsieur Taylor has assembled his related group of works in different media to suggest the culturally rich metaphor
of bread making – a process involving basic elements, activating agents, chemistry and time.
In a narrative of transformation generated from eight abandoned blocks of wood from a closed bakery, Monsieur Taylor explores the development of sculptural form as a densely layered
process that resembles organic growth.

"Don't Fight The Feeling"
An Exhibition of mixed media collage by Vladimir Kato.

Vladimir on his work:

It all starts with a rad idea, I love creative freedom, and I look at my art as a way to communicate my thoughts with people. I love telling stories in my pieces and hopefully the viewer can take something from it. I find that if people know me they get it, my work is very much a reflection of my personality. I love getting a positive reaction from new viewers but sometimes my work is met with resistance and distain, but as long as it gets a reaction I am satisfied. If you don't like it then my art is not for you, there are plenty of decorative paintings you can buy to match your couch.

"Passing Landscapes "
An Exhibition of new mixed media work by Silvana Bruni.

Passing Landscapes is a show featuring Silvana Bruni’s new mixed media work on both acrylic glass and used drumheads. These visual autobiographical narratives are informed and inspired by the artist’s own life, including the philosophy and practice of Zen Buddhism and yoga. Bruni’s established oeuvre on glass and drumheads—her trademark canvases—serves as the foundation for daily observations, dilemmas, insights and revelations in her pursuit of capturing the “fleeting moment”. Her latest show develops this theme of time and impermanence by focusing on the practice of releasing the “fleeting moment” in order to ultimately seize it.

Till April 26, 2009 Au 26 Avril 2009.

"Miles Away"

An Exhibition of oil on canvas by Paul Chester.

Inspired by the horizons, water scenes and rolling hills that surround his studio in Southeastern Ontario, the contemporary landscapes of Paul Chester are in a tradition of Canada's impressionists, though tempered by a modern sensibility. The fleeting diaphanous vision demonstrates Chester's extraordinary relationship with nature. His paintings are hazy, almost dream-like dug-up afterthoughts of emotion..

"L'Amour est entre."

Exposition photographique de Ifèdé Adébo.

Ma passion pour la Photographie m'est venue un peu par hasard.
Petit, j'aimais regarder a traversl' Objectif de l'appareil photo de mon pere!
Puis un jour, suite a une serie de phgotographies en Noir et Blanc faites
a son insu, je me suis apercu que toutes mes photos etaient bien cadrees!
En particulier la reprise d'une pochette de disque de Bob Marley dont
je suis un inconditionnel
.

Alors je me suis dit:

Je peux vraiment voir le monde comme j'en ai envie!

                                                            *  *  *  

"Love has come in."

An Exhibition of photography by Ifèdé Adébo.

My passion for photography took hold of me by a little by chance.
As a kid I loved to look through the lens of my dad's camera.
Then one day, after taking some black and white shots without
his knowledge, I noticed that all my pictures were well framed!
Especially the cover of a Bob Marley record, of whom
I'm a die-hard fan
.

So I siad to myself:

I really am able see world the way I want to.

"a care which is soft, gentle and extremely affectionate"

An Exhibition of recent paintings by Tooran Zandieh.

Tooran Zandieh measures things with all the care of the world, a care which is soft, gentle and extremely affectionate. Because each piece is going to come and stand by the next piece and the next pieces, and together they are going to make other wholes which had not existed before. And the last stage of things is a blinding caressing of the eyes by the colours and shapes that have gathered together on the space of femininity..

"Feral"
An Exhibition of sculpture by Roger Golden.

Artist statement:

Roger Golden's subject is the human form, and he focuses on people who
live outside the mainstream. He tells their stories to demonstrate that they,
too, enrich our lives.

Most of his sculptures are life size, and are made from burlap and Winterstone
(a Canadian, cement-like product). These humble materials allow him to create
fluid, gesture-like sculptures that are strong yet extremely lightweight.

He has developed his own methods and materials, and the resulting sculptures
are unique. Works can also be cast in bronze or other metals and materials.
Commissions are welcomed.

"Empty Lots"
An Exhibition of work by Chad gerth.

Installed at Art Chicago, Chad Gerth's photo series Empty Lots represents
Chicago's urban cityscape though imagery of vacant lots from above.
The resulting planes of shape and colour portray the city not through its
distinctive skyline, but through the flatness of its natural terrain
.

The modernist construction of the urban area is exemplified by the rigidly
defined boundaries of both the city's grid and the tightly cropped and
carefully composed photographs

"The Unusual Space"

An Exhibition of an installation by Matthew Nye.

Installation artist and interior architect, Matthew Nye applies contemporary architectural
form to the design of an eighties office interior. With a tongue in cheek nod to that dated
but ubiquitous setting; an anomalous protrusion renders the space unusable, suggesting
an instantaneous occurrence or a mistake. The combinations of architectural language create
both a visual awe and a discomfort which address the highly subjective manner in which
we appreciate the built environment
